1723. Wāqid bin ‘Amr bin Sa’d bin Mu’ādh said: “Anas bin Mālik arrived. So I went to him and he said: ‘Who are you?’ I said: ‘I am Wāqid bin ‘Amr [bin Sa’d bin Mu’ādh].’” He said: “So he began to cry and he said: ‘You resemble Sa’d. Sa’d was one of the greatest people, and of the tallest. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was sent a cloak of Dibāj[1] with gold woven into it. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wore it and ascended the Minbar. Then he stood, or sat, and the people began touching it, and they said: ‘We never saw a garment like this before today.’ So he said: ‘Are you amazed at this? The handkerchiefs of Sa’d in Paradise are better than what you see.’”

Commentary
The prohibition on wearing silk garment had not yet been revealed. That is why the Prophet ﷺ ascended the Minbar with it on and, sensing the amazement of the people, informed them that the meanest wear in Paradise would be far superior to the best of this world.
